How to Clean and Maintain Carrara Marble Slabs
Maintaining the beauty of Carrara marble slabs is straightforward with the right approach. Whether in kitchens, bathrooms, or living areas, regular maintenance protects the stone’s natural elegance and ensures long-term durability. Here’s how to keep your marble surfaces looking their absolute best.
Daily Cleaning
Use a soft, damp microfibre cloth with mild pH-neutral cleaner or warm soapy water to wipe down surfaces daily. Avoid acidic or abrasive products, as they can etch the stone and dull the finish permanently. Even honed surfaces benefit from regular gentle cleaning to preserve their refined appearance and natural lustre.
Seal Regularly
As a natural stone, Carrara marble is porous and requires sealing at regular intervals. Quality impregnating sealer protects against moisture absorption and surface staining. Sealing frequency depends on usage, but annual application works well for high-use areas in Sydney homes. Our team can recommend appropriate sealers specifically formulated for marble.
Avoid Spills
Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining—especially from acidic substances like wine, coffee, citrus juice, or tomato-based sauces. The sooner you clean the surface, the lower the risk of etching or dulling the marble’s finish. This simple habit maintains your marble’s pristine appearance for years without professional intervention.
Use Protective Barriers
Place coasters, trivets, or protective mats under hot items and toiletries to prevent surface wear, heat rings, and chemical etching. In kitchens and bathrooms, these small preventative steps add significant protection that reduces everyday damage accumulation. It’s always easier to prevent marks than to remove them later through professional restoration.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
For restoration, resealing, or stubborn stain removal, consult a professional experienced in natural stone care. They can address etching, dull patches, or deeper scratches—prolonging the life and appearance of your Carrara marble slabs. Regular professional maintenance every few years keeps your investment looking beautiful.
